Does God Guide Us?

Many people outside the Church find it difficult to believe  in Divine guidance and are puzzled by the quiet confidence of Christians who claim that the Almighty God is interested in the tiniest details of our lives. They read what the astronomers say about the vastness of our universe, and learn that the planet on which we live is just a tiny speck in the bewilderingly exhaustless profusion of suns,stars and system that go to make up this mighty creation, and they ask: how can the Creator be interested in the insignificant details of our lives?

Because of God's revelation in the Bible we dare to believe that He cares for us, loves us, and is vitally interested in the way we go. The Psalmist rested time and time again on the simple fact that God was guiding him, and knew from experience  the secret whispering of Gog within his ear.

The truth is God has a plan for every life. When He made you He made you different from every other person in the universe. He has not made anyone like you and and never will again, for after He made you He threw away the mould. You are unique, and have a unique contribution to make to God's world, and so the one supreme business of life is to find God's plan - and live it. Most people go through life  with no central plan that holds them together giving meaning and purpose to their existence. They live a hand-to-mouth existence of opportunism. Hence when they leave this world they leave nothing but a blur.
